My vote goes for the Mega Drive 6 Button Pad. Not directly in the poll but it just goes to the Mega Drive controller.
To me this is just the best pad for 2D games, the best thing without analog sticks for sure. It's just super comfortable to hold, the buttons are great and the d-pad is just a dream. Many people say the Saturn contoller (2nd gen/Japanese) is even better but I still find the MD controller to just feel better overall.
Of all the modern controllers the 360 controller is my favorite. It just fits the hands perfectly and is overall well constructed. Note that I have the one with the transforming d-pad and that d-pad is actually really nice. Much better then the regular 360 one. I played a LOT with this controller alone. From 360 and Xbox on 360, to PC games and all sorts of emulators.
